Valentine's day.

The day really never meant anything to him. Aside from being a reminder that he didn't really have any friends back in middle school and that no girls were interested in a quirkless loser like himself. It never really bothered him, not getting chocolates, he'd be too nervous back then to do anything about it anyways.

And really he didn't expect anything to change once he got to U.A. especially since most students would be too busy with classes. Or at least that's what he was telling himself as his classmates made a huge fuss about people giving other people chocolates, the kitchen this past weekend smelled a lot like chocolate and the boys were banned from going into it.

Already Momo had given a very confused Shoto chocolate and Mina had given some to Eijiro while saying that it wasn't pity chocolate. Even Kyoka had given Denki some. Which was leaving him in a shrinking majority of students that hadn't gotten any chocolate. And judging by how Kacchan had just walked in with a neatly wrapped bag of chocolate with a giant heart on it blushing up a storm, that majority was going to become a minority really quickly.

The last time Kacchan had gotten chocolates he exploded all of them. So maybe he actually liked the person he got them from? That seemed weird. Really weird.

Izuku shrugged, at least he had his bowl of rice. It wasn't like he'd even know what to do if a girl gave him chocolates. Freak out probably. And be confused. He couldn't think of a single girl that would like him enough to give him chocolates.

A tray bounced across the table from him, and a girl with a shark-like smile and long curly green hair sat across from him. It was the girl from class 1-B Setsuna Tokage. They couldn't have spoken more than two sentences to each other before now, so why was she sitting across from him. And why was she pushing a bag of chocolate across the table towards him?

"Hello, Izuku," She beamed sliding the chocolates over to him and winking. "I made these for you, and no, they're not pity chocolate, and yes, I would like a response on or before White Day."

Ahh yes, his one true weakness in life. Overly forward women. Well, that was any cute girl in general, but especially the forward kind. And in the face of such a glaring weakness, all the, mental growth, and just about everything else he had been cultivating since he joined U.A. were gone, just like that. A year of growth gone in a few lines.

"Why?" He asked staring at the chocolate, not able to meet Setsuna's eyes. The container was wrapped in a thin rice paper that had cute dinosaurs printed on it with them saying cute dinosaur puns, and various 'rawrs.'

Setsuna's fingers tapped the table and he could all but hear her smiling. "Long story, or short story?"

He shook his head and actually looked at her. She wasn't doing this to mess with him, at least not that he could tell if anything she was nervous as he was. She could just handle it better, but there was a bit of a blush on her face and now he couldn't look away from her.

"I mean, why are you giving me chocolate? Did you lose a bet or something?"

She made a crude noise and rolled her eyes. "No, I'm giving them to you because I think you're cute, and I want to date you."

This wasn't just regular forward, this was something else.

"Okay, but why?" He shrunk back in his seat as she glared at him, her smile turning wry.

"Long story it is," She crossed her arms and huffed. "I've liked you for a while, I first noticed you during the summer training camp last year, thought you were super cute for a while, I wanted to talk to you, but that went sideways quick, then I found out that that round-faced girl Ochako had a crush on you so I backed off, and here we are, half a year later and she hasn't made a move."

Her smile turned feral, "So now I'm here to snatch you up."

"Ochako likes me? But she's my friend?"

"You're lucky you're the cute kind of dense." She leaned forward, her damn smile changing again and she wiggled her eyebrows at him. Before finishing with a wink that made him sit up straight. "Look, I like you, so give me a shot and let's go on a date this weekend."

So this was flirting. Actual for real flirting, not the awkward blushing and stammering he sometimes did with Ochako. And a lot different than what happened whenever he was aware Mei was a girl.

"But, this is the most we've ever spoken before, shouldn't we try to get to know each other first?" He managed to get all that out while only stuttering a few times. His hand was shaking, and he really wanted Chocolate all of a sudden. Somewhere in the back of his mind he was still holding onto the Ochako liking him, but most of it was distracted by Setsuna's downright seductive smile.

Really where was everybody else? Why were they alone? Did Setsuna have back up?

She laughed and reached across the table to grab his hand. "You're so adorable Izuku, that's what dates are for, to see if we'd work out, you're not going to be my boyfriend just from going out once or twice, and you're not going to be my boyfriend just from eating my chocolates. Like I said, I like you, and I bet I can get you to like me too, that's why I want to go on a date with you, just to see if there's anything there. So, what do you say? Wanna go watch the new Godzillo movie this weekend?"

There was something cute about the way she bit her lip while smiling, and something so comfortable about the way she held his hand.

"I've never been on a date before, I wouldn't know what to do."

"Really? I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, you act like you've never had a girlfriend." She let go of his hand and tapped her chin. "Which is really weird when you consider the fact that you're kind of hot."

"I umm, thanks. You're uh, pretty."

Setsuna snorted, "Don't strain yourself with the compliments Izuku, really, going on a date is easy, especially since we'll just be going for a walk, going to the movies, and then going to get something to eat. You don't even have to plan anything out, I'm making this so easy for you, all you have to do is say yes."

He did want to give it a shot. He really had no reason to decline her, and she was making it really hard to say no. "Sure, I'd like to go on a date with you."

"Awesome," She sat back and began to eat her lunch. Right, that's where they were in the middle of the cafeteria, and everybody else was too busy dealing with their own valentines day stuff to notice that he was eating with Setsuna. "I can't wait for this weekend, oh, you don't have to dress up or anything, this is just a nice casual date."

"Oh, uhh, okay, so now what do we do." He asked poking at his lunch, his face felt warmer than the rice by a large margin.

"Well, I'm going to sit here and eat my lunch while I watch you squirm and think you're cute." She plopped a bit of food into her mouth and smirked at him. "You're free to join me if you want."

"Oh, okay then, let's eat."

"By the way, has anybody ever told you your freckles are cute? I also like your hair color, it's a much prettier shade of green than mine."

"Thanks. But I like yours it's really pretty."

"You're so sweet Izuku, I'm so going to enjoy our date."
